CALL FOR PAPERS

New Urban Conditions are transforming the way we perceive urban issues and
recognize new research strands. Shifting socio-economic and political
conditions and the urban production and consumption patterns stipulate
new-fangled ideologies in the production of Built Environment (architecture;
landscape; public realm; planning schemes and so on) and hence the methods
and ideologies that engross in producing these built environments warrant a
renewed thinking process. Urban managers (architects and allied
professionals) largely require renaissance in thinking process for preparing
themselves to countenance the improbability of the new and emerging urban
conditions.
9th AHRA Conference is expected to give delegates (architects, planners,
urban designers, construction sector professionals, and all allied
professionals), especially the research students, a platform to share and
understand the emerging fundamentals of research methods; urban issues and
findings; and overall a conduit for student delegates to establish
collaborations and stir polemical debates in order to allow them to
re-position themselves to look at the cities and architecture differently.

Papers are sought from the researchers in the field of built environment,
which deals with any issues on focusing on built environment. Selected peer
reviewed papers (post-conference), will be published in a special issue of
GLOBAL BUILT ENVIRONMENT REVIEW (http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/gber/). Delegates
receive ‘Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certification for
attendance.

Proposal for papers should be sent as 200 words abstract with title, name,
affiliation and keywords to AHRA9@rgu.ac.uk by 31 January 2012.
